Conference Center, 3-9-30 Asano, Kokurakita-ku,
Kitakyushu-shi Fukuoka 802-0001 JAPAN https://goo.gl/maps/uMsfBRsNfraScS9w7 DATES: Monday, August 7 - Friday,
August 11, 2023 OBJECTIVES: This series of Cosmic Dust
meetings aims at finding a consensus among experts on the formation and
evolution of cosmic dust: where it comes from and where it goes. The meeting
is organized by dust freaks who are very enthusiastic not only to make the
goal achievable but also to establish a dust community across every
scientifically relevant discipline for the development of cosmic dust
research. For this reason, the primary objective of the meeting is to bring
together professionals who deal with cosmic dust as well as provide an
opportunity for the cosmodustians to develop
interpersonal relationships and scientific interactions among themselves. IMPORTANT DATES: 24 April 2023, Deadline for
Early-Bird Application 8 May 2023, Deadline for
Admissions Application 31 May 2023, Notification of
Admissions Decision 7-11 August 2023, Cosmic Dust CONTACT INFORMATION: Hiroshi Kimura
<dust-inquiries@cps-jp.org> Please mind that any email
attachment will be blocked. SCOPE: All kinds of cosmic dust such
as -intergalactic dust -circumnuclear dust -interstellar dust -protoplanetary disk dust -debris disk dust -cometary dust -interplanetary dust -circumplanetary dust -stellar nebular condensates -presolar
grains -micrometeorite -meteoroids -meteors -regolith particles -planetary aerosols are the subject of discussion. The meeting is open for any
aspects of dust research by means of different methods of studies (in-situ
and laboratory measurements, astronomical observations, laboratory
and numerical simulations, theoretical modeling, data
analyses, etc.). Also welcome are papers on dust-related topics, for example: -the formation of molecules and
their reactions on and their desorption from the surface of a solid substance -light scattering by
non-spherical particles and particulate surfaces -space missions and instrumentation
for measurements of particulates CONFIRMED INVITED SPEAKERS: Thomas Henning (MPIA, Germany)
``Dust formation in the interstellar medium`` Russell Howard (Johns Hopkins
Univ., USA) ``Recent observations of the F-corona/interplanetary dust close
to the Sun `` Sebastian Marino (Univ. of
Cambridge, UK) ``What dusty exoKuiper belts tell us
about planetary system `` Veerle Sterken

``Chemical structures of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons `` NOTES ON THE PLACE This time the meeting will be
held on the island of Kyushu for the first time, the third largest island of
Japanese five main islands famous for world's most active volcanoes
(https://www.jma.go.jp/en/volcano/map_6.html). Kitakyushu city is the gateway
to the Kyushu island from the main land of Honshu,
separated only by 650 m
(http://ssl.city.kitakyushu.lg.jp/page/studyinkitakyushu/en/about/). It is
also known as one of the UNESCO World Heritage sites as Japanese Meiji
Industrial Revolution
(https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1484/gallery/&index=13&maxrows=12). ADMISSIONS APPLICATION: Please complete online meeting application at the CPS website in order to attend the meeting. The deadline for the
application is May 8, 2023, 11:59 p.m. Japan Standard Time (UTC+09:00).
Because the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 50, the online
application does not guarantee admission to the meeting. Participants will be
determined at the discretion of the SOC and all applicants will be notified
of the admissions decision by May 31, 2023. Priority will be given to those
who contribute oral or poster sessions and retain enthusiasm for discussions
throughout the meeting. For further details, please visit the Cosmic Dust
website. https://www.cps-jp.org/~dust/Application.html REGISTRATION FEE: The early bird rate of 10,000
JPY (ca. $75) is available for those who complete both admissions application
and abstract submission by April 24, 2023. The registration fee for those who
complete admissions application on and after April 25, 2023
is 15,000 JPY (ca. $110). While no payment is required at the time of
admissions application and abstract submission, the registration fee should
be paid once admittance is guaranteed. No matter what circumstances are
specified, the registration fee will not be waived. The payment of the
registration fee permits free admission to all scientific sessions, daily
coffee breaks, a banquet, and an excursion. BEST POSTER AWARD: The best poster award will be
given to the most excellent content and presentation of a poster at the
Cosmic Dust meeting, although higher priorities are given to posters by
students and junior scientists. The award winner will be announced in the
closing minutes of the meeting. SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZING COMMITTEE

in 2006 as a session called ``Cosmic Dust`` of the 3rd AOGS (Asia-Oceania
Geoscience Society) annual meeting in Singapore. Dust freaks have kept on
organizing the session at subsequent AOGS meetings in Korea (2008), India
(2010), and Taiwan (2011). The Cosmic Dust series has been recognized as the
most successful session of the AOGS Planetary Sciences Section. In 2012, the
time was ripe to be free from organizing restrictions on the AOGS meeting.
From that time on, the Cosmic Dust meeting is
totally independent of any international conferences and professional
associations. The past meetings on Cosmic Dust have been held in a relaxed
and joyful atmosphere. So will be the coming one! ===================================================================================================================================== The
